Recorded at the sixth annual Urban Poverty Forum, this event focuses on the Idle No More movement and its manifestation in the Pacific Northwest.  Tribal members in Seattle and on nearby reservations still face conditions of poverty after centuries of oppression.  The program begins with a powerful short film produced by the Native American Rock Paper Jet video collective.  Speakers include Chris Stearns of the Seattle Human Rights Commission, who practices Native American law with Hobbs, Straus, Dean & Walker and helped co-found Native Vote Washington, and Cecile Hansen, the elected chair of the Duwamish Tribe, the great-great grandniece of Chief Si’ahl, and a founder and president of Duwamish Tribal Services.
